I picked up WaterX from GNC last night to try and correct my water balance, I also picked up some FRS chewables which I will take today before the gym.

You have a water imbalance? How can one tell?
FRS for... the Quercetin? For... potential anti-inflammatory properties? Otherwise, it looks like a multivitamin.

When I start holding water my ankles swell and my sock leave painful indentations.
FRS for a boost, I am am pretty worn out by the time I hit the gym. I've tried Thermogenics, 5 hour energy, low carb monster.. the thermogenics work well but I soak through my shirt.

If you don't do this every time you're at the gym, there's a good chance you're doing it wrong. Some of us are just sweaty, though. I sweat hard half way through my warm-up without thermogenics. Shirt's usually soaked and weighing 10lbs half way through my workout.

Always soak my shirt.. about halfway through workout. If you are dead tired heading to the gym, there might be something wrong.
Got a plan.. my tonsils swelled and are draining me. I'm going to do my best to have them taken out. The week or so that you can't eat, should give me a jumpstart on the 20 lbs I'd like to lose

It's more of an "ugh where is my couch" type of feeling. Lack of motivation I guess. I still push myself to go every day and about 5-10 minutes into cardio warm up I breakthrough that barrier.
A day at the gym its normal for for me to come out sweaty but not to the point of my clothes being stuck to me

ya its not bad considering im a hard gainer..was 126 in high school now around 155-160 3 years later. love lifting its a hobby now.

I was just gonna chime in and say ya cleans are very stressful on your lower back as well as squatting, deadlifting etc... I wouldn't recomend cleans unless you have absolutely perfect form and know what your doing.

That's $5000 and does everything the ground does, which is free. I'm confused. :th_tongue2:
Not if you keep good form. I've actually got a back back/hip (not from lifting) and I overhead the 45lb plates to center the weight, but everyone else I've seen do stack moves just hold them at the waist.
I wouldn't recommend doing much of anything unless you know what you're doing. Youtube can teach you how to lift. The golden rule of lifting is to keep the lower back arched and head neutral (not looking at floor or ceiling (unless bench pressing)) with the knees pointed over the feet. If you can manage that simple feat, you can do everything without injury. The rest is refinement by experience and experiment on natural motions.

GNC charges about twice as much as anyone else for anything, though they will price match. I wouldn't bother with straight protein powder, I use shake. Optimum Nutrtition Gold Standard is $50/5lbs at allstarhealth.com.
The cheapest Tonalin CLA I've been able to find is at swansonsvitamins.com. Every thread in every forum on the topic recommends that you get the patented Tonalin variety instead of something else, and swanson's is almost the price of the stuff that might not work.
I get my caffiene pills from Walmart. Generic brand. Never bothered trying to find a lower price since I only really use them when I need to be awake for days on end and Walmart is cheap enough.
Swanson might be your cheapest green tea, too. I'd start there for chromium, as well. That's the cheapest place I know of for pills of any kind. It's a good idea to also check out amazon.com, since there's a lot of great deals there.
